Qi Tongwei at the start: Not relying on Liang Lu, but winning by a single move against Heaven.

At the Standing Committee meeting, Secretary Wang Quanyou made the final decision.

Qi Tongwei's proposed strategy for the first round of issuance was unanimously approved.

He stood in front of the conference table, smiling as he looked at Zhou Changhe, the propaganda minister.

"Minister Zhou, lottery issuance cannot be separated from the cooperation of television stations and newspapers."

"The television stations, radio stations, and major newspapers in Bianxi have all mobilized."

"Could you offer some support?"

In the conference room, everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Changhe.

The executives exchanged glances and burst into laughter.

Wang Quanyou smiled at Qi Tongwei and pointed.

He looked around and spoke with a smile.

"This little guy is making demands on us old folks..."

After saying that, he turned to look at Zhou Changhe, his smile unchanged.

"Minister Changhe, how's it going? Are you having any difficulties?"

Zhou Changhe tapped his finger on the notebook and spoke with a smile.

"Secretary! I can guarantee that as long as no major incident occurs..."

"Give him two front pages in the Bianxi Daily and Bianxi Evening News!"

"As for TV and radio stations... give them ten seconds before the evening news and they're done."

Wang Quanyou nodded and looked at Qi Tongwei.

"How's it going? Is this promotional effort enough?"

Qi Tongwei nodded quickly and added another sentence.

"TV and radio stations will also include the lottery results in their news reports..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Quanyou and Zhou Changhe exchanged a glance and smiled at the same time.

"Okay! I promise you everything..."

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Qi Tongwei stopped talking and sat down obediently.

As the laughter subsided, Cheng Shizhong cleared his throat and slowly began to speak.

"Since you've made the request, you should also take responsibility for it, right?"

He glanced at Wang Quanyou, his tone becoming much more relaxed.

"Secretary Wang, I suggest we have him sign a pledge."

"Ahead of the Populus euphratica festival in late October, we must fill a fiscal deficit of 2 million yuan."

"What do you think?"

The meeting room fell silent instantly upon hearing this.

Wang Jianguo frowned slightly, glanced at Cheng Shizhong, and said nothing.

Wang Quanyou took a sip of water, breaking the silence.

He put down his thermos and gestured with his chin towards Qi Tongwei.

"Qi Tongwei, how's it going? Are you confident?"

Qi Tongwei understood that Cheng Shizhong wasn't forcing him, but rather forcing Wang Jianguo.

Although I don't know the specifics of the team.

But after attending a Standing Committee meeting, he also began to understand the implications.

Wang Jianguo and Cheng Shizhong didn't get along very well.

Logically speaking, Wang Jianguo had neither the reason nor the ability to compete with Cheng Shizhong.

After all, their ranks are different; one is a deputy mayor, and the other is a mayor.

The saying "a higher-ranking official can crush you" holds true throughout history.

Since Wang Jianguo dared to do this, there is only one explanation.

He has connections above him, someone powerful enough to keep Cheng Shizhong in check!

Upon realizing this, Qi Tongwei spoke immediately without hesitation.

"Distinguished leaders, Secretary Wang, Mayor Cheng, I am determined to complete this task!"

His voice wasn't loud, but his words were resolute.

It's not that he's arrogant; he's already in the game and has no way out.

Cheng Shizhong nodded and immediately spoke.

Wang Jianguo was not given a chance to speak at all.

"Okay! It's a deal! If you can't keep your word, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After the Standing Committee meeting concluded, the attendees dispersed in twos and threes.

Wang Jianguo was the last to arrive, and he waved to Qi Tongwei.

"Tongwei, come here."

Qi Tongwei immediately strode forward.

"Mayor Wang."

Wang Jianguo spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but with a hint of resentment.

"You're still young, you're making too many promises..."

"What are the next plans? Tell me the truth."

Qi Tongwei smiled, his smile full of confidence.

"Boss, the next step in our plan depends on the results of these 200,000 lottery tickets."

"When the time is right, the next step will naturally follow."

Wang Jianguo stared at him for a few seconds, then slowly nodded and said nothing more.

......

After the Standing Committee meeting concluded, the first batch of 200,000 lottery tickets were distributed to various units on a per capita basis.

The assigned tasks were passed down layer by layer through official documents.

Qi Tongwei, without stopping, began a new round of work.

He personally visited the TV station and newspaper office to finalize the GG content one by one.

After finishing all that, it was already eight o'clock when I got back to the office.

Seeing that most of the people from the Municipal Party Committee Office had left, Qi Tongwei pushed open Baimaiti's door.

Inside the room, Baimaiti was organizing documents.

Qi Tongwei didn't waste any words, and with a smile, he threw a 10-ticket lottery ticket on the table.

"Director Bai, this is for you!"

"Let's go back and let my sister-in-law try it out, see if she gets lucky."

Baimaiti was taken aback and pulled out an identical lottery ticket from the drawer.

He smiled and waved the lottery ticket, joking with Qi Tongwei.

"My mission is complete, do you want me to buy two more?"

Qi Tongwei sat down with a smile, took out a cigarette, and handed one over.

"This is my share, I've already paid for it..."

Baimaiti took the cigarette, lit it, and glanced at him sideways.

"A weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken is up to no good."

"Tell me honestly, what exactly is your purpose?"

Qi Tongwei grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

"There is something I need your help with."

He leaned closer and lowered his voice.

"I want to get a few small trucks."

"Colorful flags were planted on top, loudspeakers were set up, gongs and drums were played, and they paraded all over the city."

The catchphrase is simple: Two yuan, win a color TV! Two yuan, win a car!

"Play it on a loop, wherever the car goes, it plays there."

"Especially in crowded places, you can stop for a while longer before leaving."

Baimaiti was taken aback, then his eyes lit up instantly.

He looked at Qi Tongwei, grinned, and spoke with a smile.

"This is a good idea! It's practical and down-to-earth! The people like it!"

"I'll have someone take care of it as soon as I get to work tomorrow."

"Get four cars, one each for the east, west, south, and north of the city."

Qi Tongwei nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again.

"There's something else."

"Before October 1st, could you borrow a Santana and get a few motorcycles?"

"They all have to be new."

Baimaiti didn't speak, but frowned slightly, looking troubled.

After a long period of contemplation, his voice became more serious.

"This is difficult. I can only say we'll give it a try."

When I left Baimaiti's office, the municipal party committee office was already deserted.

Qi Tongwei returned to his office, ready to have his usual long phone conversation with Zhong Xiaoai.

Having learned from his previous experience of being caught red-handed, he was more cautious and locked the door.

The call connected, and Zhong Xiaoai's sweet voice rang out...

Qi Tongwei's busy day finally came to an end.

......

The next morning.

As soon as Qi Tongwei entered the municipal party committee office building, he sensed that something was amiss.

He greeted everyone he met with a smile, regardless of their rank or whether he knew them or not.

Qi Tongwei responded with a smile, but his doubts only deepened.

What's going on? How could things change so much in just one night?

As I entered the office, Secretary Jiang was already there, wiping the table.

When he saw Qi Tongwei arrive, he immediately put down the rag, his face beaming with excitement.

"Director Qi, congratulations!"

"The quota data from each unit was submitted last night, before National Day!"

"Guess how much? A full four hundred thousand!"

Qi Tongwei was taken aback, then finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After being tense for more than ten days, my nerves couldn't help but relax.

Four hundred thousand! The cost of the first round of lottery tickets has been recovered.

Even if sales are not good later.

He no longer needs to worry about being labeled as "wasting state-owned assets".

He sat down in the chair and chatted idly with Secretary Jiang, smiling.

But before he could even sit down properly, the door was pushed open, and Baimaiti arrived.

Baimaiti didn't go inside; he stood at the door with a strange expression.

Seeing that Secretary Jiang was also there, he waved to Qi Tongwei.

"Tongwei, come to my office for a moment. I need to talk to you about something."

Qi Tongwei was taken aback, but secretly chuckled to himself, "You've finally arrived!"
